    Black-Box Collision Attacks on Widely Deployed Perceptual Hash Functions and Their Consequences

    • June 13, 2025 (11:00 - 12:00)

    • Inria Center of the University of Rennes - Aurigny room

    Speaker : Diane Leblanc-Albarel - KU Leuven

    Perceptual hash functions identify multimedia content by mapping similar inputs to similar outputs. They are widely used for detecting copyright violations and illegal content but lack transparency, as their design details are typically kept secret. Governments are considering extending the application of these functions to Client-Side Scanning (CSS) for end-to-end encrypted services: multimedia[…]

    De nos jours, la requête «crypto» dans un moteur de recherche renvoieaux cryptomonnaies. Mais «crypto means crypto», et on peut se poser laquestion des liens pertinents entre les deux domaines.   D'un coté, le monde des cryptomonnaies et de la technologiesous-jacente s'est développé et évolue encore en dehors du mondeacadémique. Il faut suivre d'un coté des posts de blog, des fils dediscussion X[…]

    A non-comparison oblivious sort and its application to private k-NN

    Speaker : Sofiane Azogagh - UQÀM

    Sorting is a fundamental subroutine of many algorithms and as such has been studied for decades. A well-known result is the Lower Bound Theorem, which states that no comparison-based sorting algorithm can do better than O(nlog(n)) in the worst case. However, in the fifties, new sorting algorithms that do not rely on comparisons were introduced such as counting sort, which can run in linear time[…]

    SoK: Security of the Ascon Modes

    • June 20, 2025 (13:45 - 14:45)

    • IRMAR - Université de Rennes - Campus Beaulieu Bat. 22, RDC, Rennes - Amphi Lebesgue

    Speaker : Charlotte Lefevre - Radboud University

    The Ascon authenticated encryption scheme and hash function of Dobraunig et al (Journal of Cryptology 2021) were recently selected as winner of the NIST lightweight cryptography competition. The mode underlying Ascon authenticated encryption (Ascon-AE) resembles ideas of SpongeWrap, but not quite, and various works have investigated the generic security of Ascon-AE, all covering different attack[…]

Focus

Conference on Informational Influence Warfare

Informational Influence Warfare (L2I) encompasses the entire range of techniques used to detect and counter adversary information maneuvers in cyberspace. It is based on a national doctrine that takes into account regulatory, ethical, and geopolitical considerations, as well as a vast technical corpus that includes automatic language processing, large-scale data mining, analysis of collective dynamics on social networks, and more traditional cybersecurity techniques such as protection and attack methods for information systems.

The DGA's Maitrise de l'Information technical center is the MinArm's technical expert in cybersecurity and, as such, has developed expertise in the field of L2I. In collaboration with the Defense Innovation Agency, we wish to share our main technical concerns, challenges, and use cases with the academic research community in order to facilitate the implementation of collaborative projects that we will fund through our research support mechanisms, particularly Creach Labs.

The objective of this conference is to bring together all teams within the scope of CREACH LABS as well as MinArm experts working on L2I to take a cross-look at the main research challenges and facilitate the implementation of collaborative projects, allow PhD students and post-docs to present their project progress, and provide teams with a comprehensive view of ongoing work and strategic directions to take.

    • White paper

    « Security supervision »

    Security supervision is a field initiated in the 1980s. Even if the foundations of the field have remained unchanged for 40 years, the techniques for implementing them have of course greatly evolved.

    « Energy backdoor attack to deep neural networks »

    The transition to deep learning has led to a significant surge in computing complexity and energy consumption. This trend has prompted the adoption of acceleration hardware like tensor processing units (TPUs) and application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) to facilitate energy-efficient deployment on edge and mobile devices. However, recent studies have revealed their vulnerability to energy[…]

    • Article

    « BAGUETTE: Hunting for Evidence of Malicious Behavior in Dynamic Analysis Reports »

    Malware analysis consists of studying a sample of suspicious code to understand it and producing a representation or explanation of this code that can be used by a human expert or a clustering/classification/detection tool.
